Tony Fawaz
 

The Lighthouse of Alexandria


By geoffysmith at 2010-11-12 23:58:07
People who love travelling know that there is no single place that lacks something unique to offer to visitors. It does not matter how small the attraction may be; it is what makes all the difference in the location and to the delight of the visitor.

Tony Fawaz has travelled to different places around the world and has had a chance to behold some sites that not many people know exist. The most amazing thing about Tony is that he is an Arab American who does not really mind the opinion people have of him. He has learnt to survive through the harsh treatments accorded to Arabs, especially because of the claims of terrorism closely connected to some of them.

Although raised in America, he has remained strong in his Muslim faith and does not let the fact that he is an Arab deter him from achieving the things he wants. Egypt is one of the many places he has visited; the lighthouse of Alexandria caught his attention when visiting there. Also known as the Pharos of Alexandria, the lighthouse located on Pharos Island in Alexandria, Egypt was erected back in 247 BC or thereabouts.

It was meant to guide sailors to the harbor at night and amazingly became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World for standing strong and tall for centuries. The manmade structure is estimated to have a height of 140m and the reflective mirrors, as well as fire, were used in guiding the sailors. During the daytime it served as a landmark for the island and Alexandria as a whole.

The tall lighthouse is said to be visible over 47 kilometers away with some legendary stories claiming that the light that it emitted could even burn enemy ships as they approached the harbor. Whether that is true or not remains a mystery.

Although not many people know about the lighthouse, it is one of the things you are going to notice on arriving in Alexandria. You can’t miss the amazing manmade structure of Alexandria in any case.

Tony Fawaz in business for so long and so successful it’s no wonder his company is now the biggest flag company in the world – not just the US. For more information about Tony Fawaz blog please visit: http://tonyfawaz.id.au/
